VISION STATEMENTTo be a world class leader in businesses that enrich lives and contribute to nations in building infrastructure through sustainable value creation.

Scale, to us, is not about the businesses we are in. Scale is about the real influence and change we can spur.

It’s about the lives we can touch, the communities we can nourish, the businesses we can propel, and the future we can inspire. Because, scale leads to growth; and with consistent growth comes incredible goodness. With the size of our operations in multiple nation-critical sectors, we have been fortunate enough to reach out more and spread this goodness, regardless of the geography.

Through courage, and a commitment to give back to the society by creating sustainable business value creation, we enable growth and progress that ends up benefitting millions.

We have consciously extended our scale beyond our businesses, to help the country overcome economic challenges; to ensure people live a good quality of life, uninterrupted. We believe scale can lead to goodness, and this what drives us to growth.

Growth with Goodness.

Know Adani Power

We are largest private sector thermal power producer of India with a total power generation capacity of 10,440 MW thermal power and 40MW of solar power (as on March 31, 2018). We were the world’s first company to set up a coal-based super critical thermal power project registered under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of Kyoto protocol.

Despite being a newcomer to power generation in 2006, we capitalized on the project management skills of the Adani Group to set up our first power plant at Mundra swiftly and efficiently, overcoming various challenges. We have leveraged on our experience and capabilities of our technical and commercial teams to quickly expand our generation capacity both organically and inorganically.

Chairman’s Message

Dear Shareholders,

Greetings! The Indian economy has proven its resilience amidst global economic turbulence and re-established its growth credentials, overcoming disruptive systemic changes internally. Today’s volatility in global energy prices reflects shifting geopolitical equations as well as re-emergence of a growth era in many of the leading economies. Nations as well as businesses have recognized that the ability to deal with continued acceleration and sudden cycles of volatility will be a key ingredient to achieving long term success.

India, with its vast resources and a large, young, and productive population is well positioned in this scenario. Our GDP is expected to double in the next decade, growing at annual rates of over 7%. A key enabler of this growth will need to be the ability of India to fulfil its electricity demand, which is also forecast to double over this period. Despite the fact that India has had a sustained growth in power generation over the past several decades, our annual per capita consumption of 1,100 kWh is still only a fraction of that of developed nations.

While on one hand this demonstrates the potential for growth, on the other hand it is an indication that every possible source of power generation will

Adani Power Limited006

need to be aggressively tapped in years to come. As of today, thermal power capacity represents about 67% of India’s total installed capacity and 80% of electricity generation. Hydroelectricity accounts of 10% generation and the balance 10% of generation is made up of various other sources.

Today, there is total unanimity in the view that a greater volume of electricity generation has to come from renewable sources. India’s political leaders, led by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi have led the world to rally in favour of accelerating the move to renewable sources (through the Global Solar Alliance). These government efforts have been strongly supported by the marketplace over the past couple of years and India today stands to be one of the top three nations in the world in the adoption and deployment of renewable energy infrastructure and our country’s draft national electricity plan calls for renewable energy installs to average 21-22 GW annually over the next 5 years.

While there have been several points of view on renewable energy as a substitute for power generation using coal, the fact is that if India is to overcome its energy deficit and get affordable and reliable power to the 240 million of its citizens that lack electricity, all possible source of power generation will need to grow responsibly. This is one of the primary reasons that the International Energy Agency forecasts that India’s coal consumption will more than double by 2040 primarily to feed the power generation and steel manufacturing sectors. The fact is that for the first time India is at a stage where it can

finally foresee a period with enough generation capacity becoming available to establish a low power deficit situation in the near future.

Over the past several years your Company has stood at the forefront of this capacity building effort and delivered four world class power plants supplying electricity at some of the most competitive rates. However, the Fiscal Year 2017-18 was a challenging year given the fuel shortages, high coal import prices, and regulatory uncertainty which have had an impact on the Company’s profitability due to under-recoveries..

However, various policy initiatives undertaken by the Government have started to produce results, amongst which, the impetus given to increase in production of domestic coal is the most important one. The Government’s push to bring electricity to the most remote and difficult to reach corners of the nation, agricultural feeder separation and strengthening of rural grids under Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), and the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA) scheme, which aims to provide electricity connections to all households creates long term demand drivers for electricity. Also, the pursuit of targets set for reduction of DISCOM losses under the Ujjwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) scheme is critical for translation of increased demand into new PPAs.

During FY 2017-18, your Company sold 48 billion units on a consolidated basis, and recorded total revenues of H 21,093 crores. Of this, the Mundra plant accounted for sales of 19.9 billion units, the Tiroda plant sold 17.3

The Company received the approval for the transfer of the

4,620 MWMundra power plant

billion units, the Kawai plant sold 5 billion units, and the Udupi plant sold 5.8 billion units.

During FY 2017-18, the Company received the approval for the transfer of the 4,620 MW Mundra power plant undertaking to its subsidiary Adani Power (Mundra) Ltd. through a Scheme of Arrangement under Slump Exchange. The unavailability of fuel cost pass through, consequent to the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Order regarding compensatory tariffs, resulted in commercial shutdowns of the plant in view of high imported fuel costs. However, your Company continues to engage in discussions with various stakeholders to identify remedial measures for sustainable operation of the power plant.

During FY 2017-18 your Company was also able to secure long term Fuel Supply Agreements for assured domestic coal supply under the Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyala (Coal) Transparently in India (SHAKTI) policy for the power plants at Tiroda (Maharashtra) and Kawai (Rajasthan), which are housed in two Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. This lower and reliable cost fuel supply will enable both these power plants to reduce fuel costs and have a material impact in improving cash flows as well as profitability, while alleviating dependence on costly imported coal.

007Annual Report 2017-18

Corporate OverviewChairman’s Message

Recently, the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission passed an Order permitting the Tiroda plant to recover compensation from the State Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) towards usage of higher cost alternate coal, due to shortage in domestic coal supply. This relief has been granted under Change In Law provisions of the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) signed by the Tiroda plant with the Maharashtra State DISCOM, and are in accordance with the guidance of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, as established by its judgement dated 11th April 2017. In addition to the above, we have high hopes that the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission will also issue a favourable order soon and on similar lines, for compensation under Change in Law for the Kawai plant, which supplies electricity to Rajasthan DISCOMs. Further, your Company also awaits, or has received recently other regulatory orders allowing it and its subsidiaries to claim relief for other elements of cost increase due to changes in duties and taxes.

As part of its international expansion and diversification plans, your Company continues to pursue its vision of sectoral leadership, and is engaged in development of a 1,600 MW Ultra Supercritical power plant at Godda in Jharkhand to supply electricity through a dedicated transmission line to the Bangladesh Power Development Board under a long term PPA.

Your Company continues to be mindful of the environment and the communities around which it operates. While we were the first to commission supercritical boilers in India, we are also now developing projects that use efficient ultra-supercritical technology, in order to help mitigate climate change

concerns. Similarly, we are also implementing emission control technologies such as Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) units at our plants while working continuously to achieve increased water usage efficiency. Through these continuing efforts, our promise is to continue to stay within the top 10% percentile of the world’s cleanest coal power plants.

Your Company also continues to create an enabling environment for the upliftment of numerous families in the vicinity of its projects through the corporate social responsibility partner, Adani Foundation. Your Company assists local communities with its CSR work in the areas of Education, Community Livelihood, Community Health and Rural Infrastructure Development, through its need based programs in both project and operational sites.

As part of its CSR initiatives, I am also pleased to inform that your Company diligently pursues flagship programs like Swachhagraha, SuPoshan and UDAAN in addition to our existing programs. Working closely with communities across five States, the programs cover more than 200 villages, and work to uplift the lives of around 5,00,000 families through its various initiatives.

On behalf of the Board and the leadership team at Adani Power, I thank the shareholders, lenders, our employees, vendors, customers, and various regulatory and statutory bodies for their valuable support in building a strong, vibrant, and responsible organisation.

Education is the foremost and strongest factor influencing change and empowerment. Hence, we, at Adani Foundation, have chosen to focus our efforts, in line with the Sustainable Development

Goals, on providing inclusive and quality education to meritorious children irrespective of their social or economic backgrounds. All our education endeavors are aimed towards nurturing children by providing them with quality education for a life-long learning and an enabling environment for their holistic development preparing them for the future of job.

Adani Vidya Mandir, providing completely cost-free quality education to 2,100 meritorious students from economically weaker sections of the society is operational in Ahmedabad, Bhadreshwar (Gujarat) and Surguja (Chhattisgarh). The first Adani Vidya Mandir was commissioned in 2008 in Ahmedabad. The students are provided with free transportation, uniform, textbooks, notebooks and meals. A number of community-based programs and activities are organized, which, coupled with a value-based curriculum, help students acquire academic capabilities while remaining rooted to their family structure and community values.

The direct impact of AVM initiative is on parents, siblings and the students themselves. The indirect impact is on the neighbors and

their children. Parents feel proud because their children are studying in one of the best schools, getting quality education and have ample opportunities to grow in career. The behavioral skills of most of the children are substantially improved and there is a gradual improvement in reading, mathematics, general science, and social sciences. Siblings and neighbor’s children are getting inspired by AVM students as role models and want to be like them in terms of personality, behavior and spoken English. Long-term impact is seen in students who have graduated from AVM. Besides curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, the school provided additional coaching for the students taking the Board and competitive examinations.

Adani Vidya Mandir at Bhadreshwar is a GSEB affiliated school catering to the education needs of economically disadvantaged families, especially from the fisher

folk communities of Mundra region. Out of 384 enrolled students, 134 students of AVMB belong to fisher-folk communities, majority of whom are the first generation learners.The school provides these students free education along with nutritious meals, uniforms, books and stationaries.

The Foundation commissioned Adani Vidya Mandir at Surguja (Chhattisgarh) in 2013 to address the educational needs of children of project site workers. The school was commissioned around the AVM model, providing free quality education to the region’s under-privileged children.

ANNEXURE - B TO THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Form No. AOC-2(Pursuant to clause (h) of sub-section (3) of section 134 of the Act and Rule 8(2) of the

Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014)

Form for disclosure of particulars of contracts/arrangements entered into by the company with related parties referred to in sub-section (1) of section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013 including certain arm’s length transactions under third proviso thereto

1. Details of contracts or arrangements or transactions not at arm’s length basis

(a) Name(s) of the related party and nature of relationship: Adani Power Maharashtra Limited (APML), Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company.

(b) Nature of Contracts / arrangements/transactions: Coal Supply to Wholly Owned Subsidiary

(c) Duration of the Contracts / arrangements/transactions: Financial Year 2017-‘18

(d) Salient terms of the Contracts or arrangements or transactions including the value, if any:

Supply of coal by the Company to APML under Inter Plant Transfer at cost as per FSA entered with the subsidiaries of Coal India Limited by the Company, and price difference, if any, would be recovered subsequently from APML on receipt of the decision of MERC. This arrangement / transaction was approved by the audit committee on omnibus basis on 1st April, 2017 with a different rationale of arm’s length basis with the arrangement / transaction value up to 2000 Cr. during FY 2017-‘18. Subsequently, upon change of the rationale of arm’s length of the said arrangement / transaction, the Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the same upon recommendation of the audit committee.

(e) Justification for entering into such Contracts or arrangements or transactions: APML requested the Company to provide the coal under Inter Plant Transfer (“IPT”) at cost considering its situation of cash flow mismatch and uncertainty on decision of MSEDCL on order of MERC against its petition of change in law filed regarding shortage of domestic coal. However, it is assured by APML that differential price between price of alternate coal available to APML (Import parity) and landed cost of FSA coal, if any, be recovered upon approval by MERC and agreed to by MSEDCL, since the Company substitutes this FSA coal with imported coal for self-consumption and price difference is being borne by the Company. The Company considered the request and decided to provide coal under IPT at FSA coal cost and price difference, if any, as explained above would be recovered subsequently on receipt of the decision of MERC. Further, APML being wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, such change in basis (which is based on arm’s length pricing) has no impact on consolidation.

(f) Date(s) of approval by the Board: 17th January, 2018.

(g) Amount paid as advances, if any: Nil.

(h) Date on which the special resolution was passed in general meeting as required under first proviso to section 188: Not Applicable.

2. Details of material contracts or arrangement or transactions at arm’s length basis

No such contracts /arrangements / transactions, as referred to in sub-section (1) of section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, has been entered into by the company with related parties during the year 2017-‘18.

Management Discussion and Analysis

The global economy strengthened during 2017 to reach a growth rate of 3.8%, the fastest since 2011, aided by a growing momentum of global trade and investments. The US, Japan, China, and the Euro zone grew faster than expected. There is an improvement in consumer and business confidence in developed economies as well as large developing nations. Investments have picked up, and leading economies are also witnessing a sustained improvement in employment rates.

In 2018, the global economic expansion is expected to continue and grow stronger. New fiscal stimuli in Germany and the US are expected to aid the acceleration of growth seen in the second half of 2017. Emerging market economies and China are also projected to improve their growth during the year.

Global Economy Overview

However, looking forward, gradual withdrawal of fiscal accommodation will start to affect the growth rates in the US and China. Commodity-exporting economies are also expected to lag the global growth. On the other hand, withdrawal of fiscal austerity measures in Europe will help spur investments and employment.

The risk to global economic growth comes from gradually increasing inflation, increase in petroleum prices, trade wars, and geopolitical imbalances. Interest rates are starting to rise following a move towards normalisation, which will increase stress for highly indebted countries as well as highly leveraged firms. Recent strengthening of economic growth in China, with improved mining and manufacturing activity, along with improved consumer spending, will have an impact on global commodity and energy prices.(Source: OECD; World Bank; ECB)

Indian Economy Overview

The Indian economy is the fastest growing large economy globally as of March 2018. It has been going through historic and transformative changes in the last two years, notably in the form of the Goods and Service Tax (GST), the new indirect tax regime. GST brought along with it a major shift from unorganized sector to organization of various industries, and along with the dramatic step of demonetization taken at the end of 2016, is expected to enforce better tax compliance and improve the Tax to GDP ratio, which has been much lower as compared to other developing as well as advanced economies.

The introduction of these policy disruptions had a negative but transient impact on economic growth, with the GDP growing at a more tepid 6.7% during FY 2017-18, as compared to 7.1% in FY 2016-17. Coupled with a low inflation regime, nominal government revenue growth was less than ideal. An increase in government spending along with a shortfall in government revenue led to an increase in fiscal deficit at 3.5% of GDP as against the initial estimate of 3.2% of GDP.

While the unorganized sector and employment created by it were adversely affected by the introduction of GST, the Government’s continued spending, especially on infrastructure, has supported demand and helped it to pick up in the second half of FY 2017-18. The strong GDP growth of 7.7% witnessed in the last quarter of FY 2017-18 demonstrates the economy’s resilience and provides strong evidence that the reform measures have taken root and have started to support economic growth. Gross Fixed Capital Formation has also improved, along with a sustained improvement in capital goods production and a fledgling revival in construction. At the same time, exports have failed to pick up even as imports have accelerated, leading to a deterioration of trade balance.

Agricultural output is also growing steadily, with the production of rice, pulses, and coarse grains expected to reach new highs. Timely imports of wheat and buffer stocks are expected to counter the decline in acreage under cultivation, helping to keep food inflation within acceptable limits.

The manufacturing sector has seen a revival from the second half of FY 2017-18, and business sentiment has improved on the back of increasing output and new orders. India’s foreign exchange reserves reached a new high during the year at $422.5 billion.

During FY 2018-19, overall food inflation is expected to remain under check on the basis of a good monsoon as well as the Government’s timely supply side management. On

the other hand, hardening of international crude prices will create an upwards pressure.

Outlook

In FY 2018-19, several growth factors are expected to accelerate economic growth. These include a revival in investment activity, improving global demand, and strengthening of domestic demand. This is expected to improve GDP growth in for the year to 7.4%, and make India the fastest growing large economy globally.

The fiscal deficit is budgeted at 3.3% of GDP for 2018-19. Buoyancy in tax revenues and good monsoons will help the Government maintain the fiscal discipline to attain this target, while upside risks to the deficit are emerging in the form of higher crude prices and weakening of the Indian Rupee against key foreign currencies. Based on the projected growth in GDP, the Indian economy is expected to be worth $5 trillion in the coming years and be the third largest economy by 2028. (Source: RBI; Economic Times)

Industry Overview

Steady global economic growth as well as population growth, coupled with rapid urbanization, are expected to propel the global energy sector to a cumulative growth of 30% by 2040. Energy demand growth from India is expected to be the largest constituent at 30%. It is anticipated that India, which will be home to 18% of the world’s population by 2040, will account for 11% of its energy usage. India, along with South East Asia and other developing Asian nations will account for two-thirds of the global energy demand growth.

Increasing concerns over climate change and growing international commitments to stem global warming

Adani Power Limited050

are expected to result into a major policy bias towards renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency. Renewable sources of energy are expected to meet 40% of the primary energy demand by 2040, while natural gas usage is expected to rise by 45%. Coal, which has been the foundation of power generation needs, has added 900 GW of capacity globally since 2000. However, incremental capacity addition from 2018 to 2040 is expected to slow down to 400 GW. Even in India, where coal presently fuels two-thirds of power generation, its share is expected to drop to below 50% in this time frame, with the Government’s strong push for renewable energy generation.

Further, growing economic prosperity in developing countries is expected to result in a spurt in demand for power for cooling needs. An increasing penetration of electrical vehicles, which are projected to number 280 million by 2040, will also add a new growth driver for power and away from fossil fuel resources in both developed and developing economies.

Indian Power Industry

India’s rapid economic growth and low levels of per capita consumption of electricity create the potential for a large scale growth in the power sector, as has been achieved since 2003, when the generation sector was liberalised. However, the rate of growth is constrained primarily due to slow pace of distribution sector reforms, as well as a lower contribution of manufacturing activity in the GDP mix. Fuel supply constraints have also held back the generation sector from maintaining the pace of capacity addition witnessed during the 11th and 12th Five Year Plan periods.

Some of the key constraints apart from generation capacity addition, such as lack of both intra-state and inter-state transmission of electricity have been getting resolved

Thermal Power Sector

After a downtrend for more than seven years, financial year 2017-18 witnessed an increase in capacity utilization of thermal power plants in India. The capacity utilization of Indian thermal power plants was close to 61% during the year. State Generators and central generators experienced an increase of 5.6% and 1.4% respectively in capacity utilization. The total installed capacity of thermal power plants stood at 222.9 GW as on 31st March 2018.

(Source: Economic Times, CEA)

steadily, through diligent efforts of the Governments, and enthusiastic participation of the private sector under various PPP mechanisms. These investments in grid strengthening and expansion have helped remove regional imbalances between demand and supply, and made the grid less vulnerable to disruptions.

Today, the nation has moved away from the times of perennial power supply shortages and debilitating peak deficits. The vast gap between the demand for power and actual supply, along with an abundance of natural resources, made investments in all sources of power generation attractive, from base load coal to peak power gas, and from nuclear and hydro power to solar and wind power.

The installed capacity of power stations in India stood at 344 GW as on 31st March 2018, out of this 64.8% is accounted by the thermal power stations. During the year, there was an increase of 51.7% in transformation capacity from 5.3 lakh MVA in March 2014 to 8.04 lakh MVA in December 2017. India also experienced a jump in World Bank’s Ease of getting electricity Index from 99 in 2015 to 26 in 2017.

Coal

Coal is the primary source of energy for India, and according to NITI Aayog, it will remain as one of the important sources of energy and electricity in the foreseeable future. This will happen mainly due to abundance of cheap good quality coal in India. Around 70% of India’s electricity is generated from coal. During the year, there has been a growth of 7.2% in supply of coal to the power sector. Growth of coal based power generation was 4.54% in FY 2017-18, and is expected to be at 5.4-5.7% in the coming four years.

India is the third largest producer of coal in the world. According to Coal India’s Vision Document 2020, the domestic demand for coal is expected to grow at more than 10% CAGR by 2020. Production of coal in India is anticipated to increase from 615 million tonnes in 2017 to 1003 million tonnes in 2022. For FY 2018-19, Coal India is reported to target increase in output to 650 MT.

India presently imports more than 210 MT of coal to meet its power generation and other needs, due to shortages in domestic coal availability. These imports are valued at nearly USD 22 billion, which is nearly 5% of total imports. International coal prices have started to increase since FY 2016-17, primarily due to rising demand for imported coal from China. During FY 2017-18, the increase in coal demand from China, and production issues in Indonesia

To boost coal mining, the government has opened commercial coal mining for private sector. This will move the coal sector from monopoly to competition, increase efficiency in coal production, and lead to reliable and affordable supply of coal. India’s coal demand is expected to rise at a CAGR of 3.6% by 2022 along with an expected fall in imports.

(Source: Economic Times; Ministry of Coal)

led the Indonesian HBA index to increase from USD 82 / Ton in March 2017 to USD 102 / Ton in March 2018, which has raised the landed price of imported coal in India significantly.

Scheme to Harness and Allocate Koyala (Coal) Transparently in India or SHAKTI was introduced by the government to auction long-term coal linkages to the power companies. SHAKTI is a transformational policy launched for auction and allotment of coal linkages, aiming to provide coal supply through auctions to power plants that lack Fuel Supply Agreements (FSAs). This policy is expected to help reduce stress for a significant number of power plants stranded without domestic coal supply.

Outlook

The policy reforms undertaken in the coal supply sector, along with the focus on increasing domestic coal production and ensuring adequate logistical arrangements, will help power plants receive an uninterrupted supply of coal. The Government’s Power For All vision is expected to provide a lasting demand driver for power from among presently underserved or unconnected populations.

The government has planned to add 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022 and increase the share of renewable energy to power at 40% by 2030. It is also anticipated that India’s peak demand for power will increase from current level of 153 GW to 226 GW by 2021-22 and 299 GW by 2026-27. Total energy requirement will reach 1,566 BU by 2021-22, and 2,047 BU by 2026-27. Considering the demand projections and likely retirement of 22.7 GW of capacity,

total capacity addition of 175 GW, including 47.8 GW of coal based power projects currently under construction is envisaged in the period 2017 to 2022. Similarly, for the period 2022 to 2027, another 175 GW of capacity addition and retirement of 25 GW have been envisaged. (Source: Ministry of Power / CEA)

Company Overview

Adani Power Limited is the largest private sector Thermal Power Producer in India, with its Special Purpose Vehicles having an installed capacity of 10,440 MW spread across major industrialised regions of the country. Along with its investment in solar power, the Company’s total generation capacity is 10,480 MW.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths

• Excellent track record of project execution and successful turnaround of power projects positions the Company uniquely to capitalize the opportunities available in the industry

• Group’s integrated presence across various value chains of Power sector, such as Logistics and Coal Trading enables Company to leverage these strengths, thus ensuring competitive advantage

• More than 88% of gross generation capacity having long term PPAs ensures revenue stability

• Long term visibility of secured fuel availability with all our hinterland power plants having FSA/Coal linkages on a consolidated basis, and coastal power plants having advantages of imported coal.

Weakness

• Uncertainty in international coal prices and monopolistic price policy of domestic coal producers affects the profitability, owing to significant fixed charge commitments such as O&M and debt service

Opportunities

• Merchant capacity of 12% of total enables Company to benefit in high demand regime

• Government push for Power For All under various schemes and initiatives like Saubhagya, UDAY, UJALA and IPDS will deepen the power market and boost the growth rate of electricity demand

• Rapid economic growth and renewed Government focus on manufacturing will raise demand for base

Statutory ReportsManagement Discussion and Analysis

load capacity and bring per capita consumption of electricity in line with that of other leading developing nations

• Retirement of old and inefficient power generation capacities due to stricter environmental norms will widen the power demand vs. supply gap

• Easier availability of domestic coal due to expansion of production, and entry of private sector in coal mining will help improve capacity utilization that was constrained earlier by fuel shortages

Threats

• Increasing preference globally and in India for renewable power, especially Solar power, will constrain growth prospects for thermal power generation in the long run

• Volatility in international coal prices will affect profitability of power plants using imported coal, in absence of pass through mechanisms, thus affecting the capability to service capital

• Inability of domestic coal miners to raise production in line with demand growth will impact capacity utilization and increase dependence on costlier imported coal

Operational Performance

The company experienced a challenging year in FY 2017-18 due to shortages and delays in supply of domestic coal, which led to commercial shutdowns at the Mundra and Kawai power plants in view of high prices of alternate imported coal. Forced outages at the Udupi power plant also impacted overall capacity utilization. As a result, there was a significant drop in aggregate Plant Load Factor for the financial year, along with a dip in billed availability.

Average Plant Load Factor (PLF) achieved during FY18 was 55%, as compared to 70% achieved in FY17. Units sold in FY18 were 48,005 MUs as compared to 60,194 MUs in FY17. This decline in PLF was primarily due to shortage of e-auction coal as well as delays in signing FSAs under SHAKTI coal auctions at Tiroda and Kawai, commercial shutdown in Mundra due to high imported coal prices, and forced outages in Udupi due to generator failures.

The Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Company, viz. Adani Power Maharashtra Ltd. and Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd. had won bids for 5.85 MT for the Tiroda plant and 4.12 MT for the Kawai plant respectively in SHAKTI auctions in August 2017. However, Fuel Supply Agreements could not

be signed in time due to procedural delays, which resulted into coal shortages.

Financial Performance

Consolidated total income for the year FY18 stood at H 21,093 crores as compared to H 23,034 crores in FY17. Consolidated EBITDA for the year stood at H 6,174 crores as compared to H 6,391 crores in FY17. Consolidated Net Loss before tax and before exceptional items for FY 2017-18 reduced to H (2,095) crores from H (2,183) crores following the adoption of a loss minimization strategy in face of high prices of imported coal and under-recoveries under the PPAs.

Outlook

Improvement in domestic coal availability due to the newly signed FSAs is expected to alleviate reliance on imported and open market coal for the Tiroda and Kawai power plants. This will help improve their profitability and cash flows, and avoid outages due to coal shortage. The company is moving ahead to realise its vision to generate 20,000 MW of power by 2020. With this, company has laid down its plan to set up a greenfield project at Godda in Jharkhand, as well as potential expansion at Udupi in Karnataka.

The Godda power plant, being set up under the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiary Adani Power (Jharkhand) Ltd. (APJL), will have 1,600 MW (800 MW x 2) Ultra Supercritical technology. APJL has entered into a long term PPA with the Bangladesh Power Development Board for cross-border supply of electricity to the neighbouring nation. It has also received all necessary permissions and clearances to set up the plant, and is currently acquiring land for the project.

On the regulatory front, the Company has recently received important regulatory approvals, which will contribute significantly to profitability going forward.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Adani Power Maharashtra Ltd., which operates the 3,300 MW power plant at Tiroda, has received an order from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission, allowing it to claim compensation for usage of alternate coal due to shortfall in domestic coal supply for the Tiroda under Change In Law provisions, pursuant to the Order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 11th April 2017.

Similarly, the Wholly Owned Subsidiary Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd., which operates the 1,320 MW power plant at Kawai, has also received an order from the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission for compensation for use of alternate coal under Change in Law provisions.

Adani Power Limited054

Another Order was received from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, allowing recovery of capital expenses on Flue Gas Desulphurisation Units (FGDs) for Units 7 to 9 of the Mundra Power Plant supplying power to Haryana DISCOMs.

Implementation of these Orders will improve cash flows for these subsidiaries by helping them recover past dues.

This approach has optimized community and individual growth in a sustainable manner. Some of the initiatives undertaken by the group companies across the Power sites are:

EDUCATION

In our rapidly developing economy, education has emerged as the most powerful tool that can utilize the immense potential of billions to fuel the growth of our nation. Education is the foremost and strongest factor influencing change and improvement. Hence, we, at Adani Foundation, have chosen to focus our efforts, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, on providing inclusive and quality education to meritorious children irrespective of their social or economic backgrounds. All our education endeavours are aimed towards nurturing children by providing them with quality education for a life-long learning and an enabling environment for their holistic development preparing them for the future of job.

Coaching for Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) entrance – Special coaching classes were conducted for JNV entrance exam in Kawai – Rajasthan and Tiroda - Maharashtra. It is an honest endeavour to provide special coaching to children from the government

schools that belong to underprivileged section of the society. These special coaching classes are conducted at three locations, Atru, Aton and Kawai region of Rajasthan, where more than 100 students from 24 schools enrolled in our coaching classes with the sole objective of seeking admission in JNV. Similarly, Adani Foundation set up 2 centres in Gulabtola and Gumadhavda region of Tiroda – Maharashtra where 41 students attended classes on regular basis with 3 special teachers hired for running these classes smoothly. Apart from providing free coaching to these students, the foundation also provided educational kits and refreshment to these students to encourage them to study. Weekly tests were also conducted to review the progress of the students and special attention was provided to students not faring well in these tests.

Project Gyan Jyoti: Under this programme, E-learning kits were provided to all the Government schools in Tiroda block of Maharashtra. The objective of the program is to make the youth of the region tech savvy and comfortable to use digital systems regardless of them belonging to the rural areas. This year the programme covered a total of 31 anganwadis and 1 Government school in the region. The software which is of plug_and_play model, consists of education materials like Rhymes, Colours, Numbers, Alphabets and Short stories etc., and the outcome has been very encouraging.

Special coaching classes of English and Maths for Government Upper Primary Schools – With education being the topmost priority in rural areas, Maharashtra Government spends considerable budget to reach education to the remotest of villages. Though ample facilities are provided to the rural schools, many remain underutilized. To complement the efforts of the Government and to address the issue of poor performance of students especially in subjects like Mathematics and English, Adani Foundation started Champion Square classes for the benefit of the rural students in Zila Panchayat Upper Primary Schools of Chikhali, Kachewani and Mendipur villages around Tiroda. These special classes have helped the students improve in these subjects, which is evident from their annual results. A total of 133 students attended classes on regular basis.

Similar coaching classes were conducted under Apna School initiative for 223 students from 5 villages of Godda district in Jharkhand. Students up to 5th standard received extra coaching classes and were selected from areas where literacy rate is below 50%. Under Adani Gyan Jyoti Yojna, special coaching classes

were conducted for 60 students of 9th & 10th standard from underprivileged backgrounds from Motia village. It was heartening to note that these students showed tremendous improvement in their board exam results.

Adani Foundation also distributed quality education kits to 6656 students of 77 Kannada Medium Government & Government Aided Schools in Udupi District of Karnataka. These kits involved branded Slates, Note Books, Bags, Geometry Boxes, and Umbrellas. This initiation has resulted in increase of the strength of students in Government Schools. The foundation has supported 1241 meritorious students from financially weaker sections with education scholarships, to motivate them to take-up the higher education. The minimum amount of scholarship paid was Rs. 1,100/- and maximum was Rs. 10,000/-, depending on the course, discipline, branch and percentage of marks secured by the students in the Academic Year 2016-17.

Healthy people can utilise growth opportunities made available to them in a better way. Lack of basic healthcare facilities has a detrimental impact on the health and well-being of the people. We, at the Adani Foundation, have committed ourselves to raising the standards of and strengthening healthcare systems in and around our operational locations in India to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being at all ages in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. Through our efforts in community healthcare, we aim to help people realise their dreams of leading a healthy and happy life.

Financial StatementsIndependent Auditors Report

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Adani Power Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate

internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the

company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Qualified Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, a material weakness has been identified in the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2018 relating to inadequate internal financial controls over financial reporting in respect of uncertainties relating to realisation of advance consideration paid (or value thereof) for purchase of 51% shares of Korba West Power Company Limited (‘KWPCL’), loans and advances given to KWPCL and realisation of sale consideration on sale of 49% shares of KWPCL aggregating to H 2,403.22 Crores. A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note.

Explanatory paragraph

We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, and the related Statement of Profit and Loss, Cash Flow Statement and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and our report dated May 3, 2018 expressed a qualified opinion.

2 Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) read with section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.

In addition, The financial statements are presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest Crore, except when otherwise indicated.

2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

a Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost grossed up with the amount of tax / duty

benefits availed, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment losses. All costs, including borrowing costs incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use, is capitalised along with respective asset.

Depreciation is recognised based on the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The useful life of property, plant and equipment is considered based on life prescribed in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in case of power generation plant assets, where the life has been estimated at 25 years based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the assets, the operating condition of the assets, anticipated technical changes, manufacturer warranties and maintenance support. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Subsequent costs are depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets.

b Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The Company has Intangible asset in the nature of Computer Software having useful life of 5 years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

c Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell.

d Financial Instruments

A Financial Instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets

or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit or loss.

e Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a timeframe established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Subsequent measurement

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer note w(ii).

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of financial assets and of allocating interest income over the relevant

105Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial assets, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL). Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured initially as well as at the end of each reporting date at fair value. The fair value movement or remeasurement are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI).

a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

b) The contractual terms of the asset that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payment of principal and interest.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) criteria are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the “Other income” line item.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership of the asset to another party or when it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received / receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

f Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of financial liabilities at amortised cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if these are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited106

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.

Fair values are determined in the manner described in note ‘n’.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and costs paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Trade and other payables are recognised at the transaction cost, which is its fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Similarly, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. Trade credits include Buyer’s credit.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as

an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

g Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. Further details of derivatives financial instruments are disclosed in note 41.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Embedded derivatives

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 - “Financial Instrument” are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss.

h Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost.

i Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Costs include all non-refundable duties and all charges incurred in bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of power generation and costs necessary to make the sale.

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

j Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of 3 months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

k Business combinations

Acquisitions of business are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquire and the equity interest issued by the Company in exchange of control of the acquire. Acquisition related costs are added to the cost of investment.

Business combination involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest method the assets and liabilities of the combining entities / business are reflected at their carrying value.

Purchase consideration paid in excess / shortfall of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities and contingent assets, is recognised as goodwill / capital reserve respectively, except in case where different accounting treatment specified in the court approved scheme.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefits arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with Ind AS 12 - “Income Taxes” and Ind AS 19 - “Employee Benefits” respectively.

l Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its

operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non - current.

m Foreign currency translations

In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recognised at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.

The Company has elected to continue the policy adopted for accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding and recognised in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period i.e. 31st March, 2016 as per the previous GAAP.

n Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivative at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the financial asset or settle the financial liability takes place either:

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited108

• In the principal market, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The Company - uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as unquoted financial assets and financial liabilities and derivatives.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

o Government grants

The Company recognises government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with,

and the grants will be received. Where Government grants relates to non-monetary assets, the cost of assets are presented at gross value and grant thereon is recognised as income in the statement of profit and loss over the useful life of the related assets in proportion in which depreciation is charged.

Grants related to income are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the same period as the related cost which they are intended to compensate are accounted for.

p Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

i) Revenue from Power Supply

Revenue from Power Supply is recognised on the basis of sales to State Distribution Companies and also on the basis of orders of the competent authorities in terms of the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) or on the basis of sales under merchant trading based on the contracted rates, as the case may be. Such Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of trade / cash discounts if any.

ii) Sale of other goods

Revenue from the sale of other goods (including coal) is recognised as per the contracted price when the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer. Such revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

iii) Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis at the effective interest rate (“EIR”) applicable.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

109Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

iv) Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established which is generally when shareholder approve the dividend, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

v) Delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payment for power supply are recognised on reasonable certainty to expect ultimate collection.

q Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing cost.

r Employee benefits

i) Defined benefit plans:

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees through Group Gratuity Scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company accounts for the liability for the gratuity benefits payable in future based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out using Projected Unit Credit Method considering discounting rate relevant to Government Securities at the Balance Sheet Date.

Defined benefit costs in the nature of current and past service cost and net interest expense or income are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest or the net defined benefit liability) and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement are not classified to profit and loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognised in profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment.

ii) Defined contribution plan:

Retirement Benefits in the form of Provident Fund and Family Pension Fund which are defined contribution schemes are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period in which the contributions to the respective funds accrue as per relevant statues.

iii) Compensated absences:

Provision for Compensated absences and its classifications between current and non-current liabilities are based on independent actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per the projected unit credit method as at the reporting date.

iv) Short term employee benefits:

These are recognised at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in which the related services are rendered.

s Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited110

a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Company as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are intially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Rentals expense from operating lease is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits

accrue. Contingent rentals arising under opertaing leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

t Taxes on Income

Tax on Income comprises current tax and deferred tax. These are recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments / appeals. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted, at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized for the future tax consequences of deductible temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred tax liability arises at the time of transaction that affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credit and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset relating to temporary differences arising at the time of transaction that affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

111Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

the taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

u Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax as adjusted for the effects of dividend, interest and other charges relating to the dilutive potential equity shares by weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential equity shares.

v Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks

and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

Contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the Company. Where it is management’s assessment that the outcome is uncertain or cannot be reliably quantified, the claims are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote such contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial position. (Refer note 36).

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

w Impairment

i) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited112

basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budget and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s cash-generating unit to which the individual assets are allocated. These budget and forecast calculations generally cover a period. For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budget / forecasts, the Company estimates cash flow projections based on estimated growth rate.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

ii) Impairment of Financial assets

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

Expected credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instruments has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.

3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

113Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

contingent liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any revisions thereto are recognized in the period in which they are revised or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. Uncertainties about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty :

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In case of the power plant assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been estimated at 25 years based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of the assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturer warranties and maintenance support, depreciation on the same is provided based on the useful life of each such component based on technical assessment, if materially different from that of the main asset.

ii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

In estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, the Company uses market observable data to the extent available. Where such Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company establishes appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of

inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 43.

iii) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Information about the various estimates and assumptions made in determining the present value of defined benefit obligations are disclosed in Note 48.

Iv) Impairment

Determining whether property, plant and equipment are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model over the estimated useful life of the Power Plants. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to tariff, operational performance of the Plants, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variations, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management.(Refer note 38)

v) Investments made / Intercorporate deposits (‘’ICDs’’) given to subsidiaries

In case of investments made and Intercorporate Deposits (“ICD”) given by the company in its subsidiaries, the Management assesses whether there is any indication of impairment in the value of investments and ICDs. The carrying amount is compared with the present value of future net cash flow of the subsidiaries. (Refer note 39)

vi) Taxes

Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, including estimates of temporary differences reversing on account of available benefits from the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax assets is recognised to the extent of the corresponding deferred tax liability. (Refer note 22.1)

vii) Revenue

Revenue from operations on account of force majeure / change in law events in terms of Power Purchase Agreements with various State Power Distribution Utilities in some cases is accounted for by the Company based on best estimates including orders / reports of Regulatory Authorities, which may be subject to adjustments on receipt of final orders of the respective Regulatory Authorities.

Total (1,506.85) 3,907.94 Note:

i) During the previous year, pursuant to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) order dated 21st February, 2014, the Company had recognized revenue in the nature of Compensatory Tariff (“CT”) of H 3,938.65 Crores upto 31st December, 2016 in respect of a long term Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) (Bid 2) of 1,000 MW entered into with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (“GUVNL”) and other long term PPAs of 1,424 MW entered into with Haryana Utilities. In addition, the Company had also recognized CT of H 426.19 Crores upto 31st December, 2016 in respect of another long term PPA (Bid 1) of 1,000 MW entered into with GUVNL.

The said order was challenged in the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (“APTEL”). APTEL vide its order dated 7th April, 2016, had set aside the aforementioned CERC order and had held that the promulgation of Indonesian regulation constitutes Force Majeure event which was contested in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide its order dated 11th April, 2017 has set aside the aforementioned APTEL order and has ruled that the said event is neither Force Majeure nor Change in Law as per the terms of PPA and hence, does not entitle the Company to CT. Consequently, the Company had derecognised its claim on account of CT of H 4,364.84 Crores recognized up to 31st December, 2016, out of which, H 3,619.49 Crores (recognised upto 31st March, 2016) was shown as an exceptional item and H 745.35 Crores (recognised from 1st April, 2016 to 31st December, 2016) had been adjusted from the revenue from operations of previous year.

Further, the aforesaid order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court also held that the non-availability of domestic coal due to change in policy or Change in Law, in force in India, constitutes Change in Law as per the terms of PPA. Hon. Supreme Court directed the CERC to determine the relief under clause 13 of PPA. The Company has filed a petition with CERC to ascertain the relief that may be available to the Company.

ii) During the previous year, the Company had given advances to Brakel Kinnaur Power Private Limited (“Brakel”) of H 288.45 Crores which were, in turn, deposited by Brakel with Government of Himachal Pradesh (“the GoHP”) in relation to 960 MW hydro power plant project (“the project”). The said advances had been written off due to delay in initiation of underlying project during previous year.

37 As at the year end, the Company is carrying equity investment of H 106.05 Crores in equity of its subsidiary Adani Power (Mundra) Limited (“APMuL”) which owns and operates 4,620MW Mundra thermal power undertaking and also has outstanding loans and advances granted to APMuL of H 2,415.30 Crores. APMuL has reported a loss of H 1,694.09 Crores for the year ended 31st March, 2018 and has accumulated losses of H 9,747.59 Crores as at 31st March, 2018 (read with note 51). Further, its current liabilities (including H 6,329.78 Crores to related parties) exceed current assets by H 10,729.22 Crores and the net worth of APMuL has been completely eroded based on the latest financial statements.

Notwithstanding the above, the Management believes based on its assessment made, that over the foreseeable future, APMuL would be able to establish profitable operations with settlement of change in law claims with Discoms, better future merchant tariff price / other operating parameters and alternative arrangements / approaches to deal with the current situation leading to better cash flows in APMuL. Considering APMuL Management’s plan and assessment and the support of the Company, Management of the Company believes that APMuL would be able to meet its financial obligations and has accordingly prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis and no provision / adjustment to the carrying value of the said investment / loans and advances is considered necessary by the management as at 31st March, 2018.

38 The Company has determined the recoverable amounts of the Power Plants over its useful life under Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets based on the estimates relating to tariff, operational performance of the Plants, life extension plans, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management.

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

All amounts are in J Crores, unless otherwise stated

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of the Company has concluded that the recoverable amounts of the Power Plant is higher than their carrying amounts as at 31st March, 2018.

39 The carrying amounts of Non-current investments in equity shares of wholly owned subsidiary companies viz. Adani Power Maharashtra Limited (“APML”), Adani Power Rajasthan Limited (“APRL”) and Adani Power (Mundra) Limited (“APMuL”) are H 4,205.92 Crores (Previous year - H 4,205.92 Crores ), H 1,200 Crores (Previous year - H 1,200 Crores) and H 106.05 Crores (Previous year - H 0.05 Crores ) respectively, and Non-current loans (Refer note 5) include loans given to APML and APRL of H 3,727.32 Crores (Previous year - H 2,999.00 Crores ) and H 2,020.07 Crores (Previous year - H 1,722.42 Crores ) respectively. Current loans (Refer note 14) includes Loans given to APMuL of H 2,414.68 Crores (Previous year - H Nil).

APMuL, APML and APRL own and operate 4620 MW, 3300 MW and 1320 MW coal based power plants respectively with major capacities tied up under power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) for twenty five years with substantially fixed tariffs. The PPAs for these plants were made based on the commitments / understanding that domestic coal linkages would be available to meet the fuel requirements. However, adequate coal linkages could not be made available due to various reasons, including government policies, not attributable to the respective subsidiary companies. In response to the pleas to various regulatory authorities for compensating the losses due to above and orders passed thereof, the respective state electricity regulators have granted part relief during the year on account of Change in Law / Force Majeure. The Company’s management believes that APML and APRL are eligible to get the required coal linkages as APML and APRL supply power under the Long Term PPAs and until then are eligible for relief on account of Change in Law / Force Majeure to compensate the operating losses. Whilst some of the matters related to relief on account of Change in Law / Force Majeure are under litigation, it is expected that equivalent amounts as recognised by the respective subsidiaries (H 1,685.14 Crores by APML and H 2,546.34 Crores by APRL up to 31st March, 2018 (H 2,583.23 Crores by APML and H 1,980.92 Crores by APRL up to 31st March, 2017)) will be ultimately recovered. As per the assessment by the Management, it would not be unreasonable to expect ultimate collection of an equivalent amount of relief, which is predicated on the legal advice that APML and APRL have good arguable cases on merits, based on the principles set forth by the Hon. Supreme Court in its order dated 11th April, 2017 and also based on the regulatory orders received during the year. In respect of relief on account of short fall in domestic coal supply in case of APMuL 1424 MW Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Haryana Utilities (please refer note 34 (i)). Having regard to above and the expectation that similar relief will continue to be available till existence of the aforesaid circumstances, the Management of the Company has concluded that no provision for impairment is considered necessary at this stage.

40 Further to the execution of the share purchase agreement (“SPA”) on 4th March, 2015 with the owners of Korba West Power Company Limited (“KWPCL”), having operating capacity of 600 MW Thermal Power Project at Korba, Chhattisgarh, the Company had paid total amount of H 775 Crores by 17th March, 2015 to the owners of KWPCL towards 100% acquisition of shares and including H 107.90 Crores towards loan in KWPCL and has further advanced H 1,628.32 Crores to KWPCL as inter corporate deposit till 31st March, 2018 (including H 140.46 Crores advanced during FY 2017-18 & interest accrued thereon (H 1,487.86 Crores till 31st March, 2017). The process of closure of the acquisition of KWPCL as per SPA, got delayed pending resolution of disputes in terms of the SPA, suspension of plant operations due to failure of generator leading to differences with original equipment supplier and finally, pending restructuring of loans by the lenders. Based on understanding reached with stakeholders and the KWPCL lenders, the Company acquired 49% of the equity shares of KWPCL on 22nd December, 2017 whereby KWPCL became Company’s associate entity.

Further to the above, the Company has entered into a separate SPA to sell / dispose-off, the acquired 49% equity shares to a third party on 18th January, 2018 for a consideration of H 263.69 Crores and the shares have been transferred to the said party before 31st March, 2018. In terms of SPA, the Company is expected to realise the consideration at the earliest.

Based on restructuring plan proposed and approved by the lead banker of KWPCL, dated 15th March, 2018, which has been approved by few of the other lenders and is under approval of the remaining lenders, the Company expects to acquire 51% of shares of KWPCL in the near future. It also expects that KWPCL plant will be operational in next few months after repair of the generator defect. Further, the Company is of the view that on signing of restructuring plan with the lenders and commencement of operation of the plant, the Company will be able to realise the value of its investments and advances over the expected useful life of the thermal power project.

The details of foreign currency exposures not hedged by derivative instruments are as under :

* The Company had hedged USD 271.74 million of exposure in the form of firm commitments as at 31st March, 2017 pertaining to future coal imports, however for the purpose of determining unhedged foreign currency exposure of “Import Creditors and Acceptances”, forward contracts aggregating to USD 254.23 million had been set off against outstanding amounting to USD 310.45 million towards import creditors and acceptances, as the management of the Company considers that the impact of such exposure on Statement of Profit and Loss due to movement in foreign exchange rates will be effectively offset by such financial hedges.

42 (i) Financial Risk Management Objective and Policies :

The Company’s risk management activities are subject to the management direction and control under the framework of Risk Management Policy as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Management ensures appropriate risk governance framework for the Company through appropriate policies and procedures and the risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity risk.

135Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to Financial StatementFinancial Statements

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a mixed portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. To manage this, the Company enters into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

The sensitivity analysis have been carried out based on the exposure to interest rates for instruments not hedged against interest rate fluctuation at the end of the reporting period. The said analysis has been carried out on the amount of floating rate long term liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

In case of fluctuation in interest rates by 50 basis points on the exposure on long term borrowings of H 277.18 Crores as on 31st March, 2018 and H 14,540.71 Crores as on 31st March, 2017 respectively and if all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit and loss for the year would increase or decrease as follows:

b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions that are expected to realise in future. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into currency swap for converting INR loan into other foreign currency for taking advantage of lower cost of borrowing in stable currency environment. The Company also enters into various foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk arising out of foreign exchange rate movement on foreign currency borrowings or trade payables.

Every one percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S.dollar on the exposure of $ 14.93 million as on 31st March, 2018 and $ 22.29 million as on 31st March, 2017, would have affected the Company’s profit and loss for the year as follows :

For the year ended 31st March, 2018

For the year ended 31st March, 2017

Impact on Profit or Loss for the year 1.39 72.70

Impact of change in USD to INR rate For the year ended 31st March, 2018

For the year ended 31st March, 2017

Impact on Profit or Loss for the year 0.97 1.45

c) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the on-going purchase or continuous supply of coal. Therefore the Company monitors its purchases closely to optimise the price.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

The Company is having majority of receivables from State Electricity Boards which are Government undertakings and hence they are secured from credit losses in the future.

ix. Asset Liability Matching Strategies

The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan,the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

x. Effect of Plan on Entity’s Future Cash Flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The Company has purchased an insurance policy to provide for payment of gratuity to the employees. Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.

b) Expected Contribution during the next annual reporting period

The Company’s best estimate of Contribution during the next year is H Nil.

c) Maturity Profile of Defined Benefit Obligation

Weighted average duration (based on discounted cash flows) - 7 years.

xi. The Company has defined benefit plan for Gratuity to eligible employees, the contributions for which are made to Life Insurance Corporation of India who invests the funds as per Insurance Regulatory Development Authority guidelines

The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India’s securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.

The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with FY 2017-18.

The actuarial liability for compensated absences as at the year ended 31st March, 2018 is H 3.35 Crores (Previous Year H 12.40 Crores).

(b) Defined Contribution Plan

Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans, recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, for the year is as under:

Expected cash flows over the next (valued on undiscounted basis): Amount 1 year 0.84 2 to 5 years 1.14 6 to 10 years 1.91 More than 10 years 3.95

The amounts outstanding are unsecured and will be settled in cash or kind. No guarantees have been given or received. No expense has been recognised in current year or prior years for bad or doubtful debts in respect of the amounts owed by related parties.

54 Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company applied for first time certain amendmends to the Standards, which are effective for annual periods begining on or after 1st April, 2017. The nature and impact of each amendmend is described below:

Amendmends to Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash flows : Disclosure initiative

The Amendment requires entities to provide disclosure of changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). The Company has provided the information for both the current and comparative period.

Standard issued but not effective:

Ind As 115 revenue from contracts with customers

Ind AS 115 was notified on 28th March, 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. This new standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions of the Company. Ind AS 115 is effective for the

All amounts are in J Crores, unless otherwise stated

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using either one of two methods: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Ind AS 115 (the full retrospective method); or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 recognized at the date of initial application (1 April 2018) and providing certain additional disclosures as defined in Ind AS 115 (the modified retrospective method).

The Company continues to evaluate the available transition methods and its contractual arrangements.The ultimate impact on revenue resulting from the application of Ind AS 115 will be subject to assessments that are dependent on many variables, including, but not limited to, the terms of the contractual arrangements and the mix of business.

A reliable estimate of the quantitative impact of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible once the implementation project has been completed.

55 Previous year figures have been regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary to conform to this year’s classification.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in terms of the requirement of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance (including other comprehensive income), consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associate in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and of its associate and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the

purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, on these consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. While conducting the audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Holding Company’s Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

Independent Auditors Report on Consolidates Financial Statement

Financial Statements

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of Adani Power Limited as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Adani Power Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding Company”) and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding company and its subsidiary companies, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, on the Holding Company’s and its subsidiary companies’ internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established

and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

of even date on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of Adani Power Limited

ANNEXURE 1 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Adani Power Limited154

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Qualified Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit and the reports issued by other auditors on internal financial controls over financial reporting in case of its subsidiary companies, as noted in ‘other matters’ paragraph below, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 31, 2018:

a) In Holding Company, uncertainties relating to realisation of advance consideration paid for purchase of 51% shares of Korba West Power Company Limited (‘KWPCL’), loans and advances given to KWPCL and realisation of sale consideration on sale of 49% shares of KWPCL aggregating to H 2,403.22 crores.

b) In Adani Power Maharashtra Limited, in respect of revenue recognition on account of relief under Force Majeure Events/ Change in Law events and additional relief pending litigations amounting to H 1,258.54 crores.

c) In Adani Power Rajasthan Limited, in respect of revenue recognition on account of relief under Force Majeure Events / Change in Law events pending litigations amounting to H 2,546.33 crores.

d) In Udupi Power Corporation Limited, in respect of assessment of recoverability of carrying amount of certain trade receivables under reconciliation amounting to H 110.11 crores.

A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial

reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have maintained in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Other Matters

Our report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting insofar as it relates to two subsidiary companies, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies.

We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and our report dated May 3, 2018 expressed a qualified opinion

1 Corporate information

Adani Power Limited (“the Company” or “APL”) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, applicable in India having its registered office at “Shikhar”, Near Adani House, Mithakhali Six Roads, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad – 380 009, Gujarat, India.

The Company, together with its subsidiaries, currently has multiple power projects located at various locations with a combined installed and commissioned capacity of 10480 MW. The parent company, Adani Power Limited and the subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘’the Group’’) sell power generated from these projects under a combination of long term Power Purchase Agreements and on merchant basis.

As at 31st March, 2018, S. B. Adani Family Trust (“SBAFT”) together with entities controlled by it, has the ability to control the Group. The Group gets synergetic benefit of the integrated value chain of Adani group.

The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 3rd May, 2018.

2 Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as “Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) read with section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.

In addition, the Financial Statements are presented in INR and all values are rounded to nearest crores, except when other wise indicated.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

a Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, being the entities

controlled by it as at year end. Control is achieved when the Company:

• has power over the investee;

• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

• the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

• potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

• rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Adani Power Limited162

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable Ind AS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary

at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under Ind AS 109, or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

b Investment in associates

Associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in Associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting as per Ind AS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”. Under the equity method, on initial recognition, the investment in an associate is recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate subsequent to the date of acquisition. The Group’s share of the Associate’s profit or loss is recognised in the Group’s Statement of profit or loss. On sale / disposal of interest in associate, the Group recognises the difference, between the sale consideration and the carrying cost as on the date of sale, in the statement of profit and loss.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

a Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost grossed up with the amount of tax / duty benefits availed, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment losses. All costs, including borrowing costs incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use, is capitalised along with respective asset.

In respect of business covered under part A of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, depreciation is recognised based on the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The useful life of property, plant and equipment is considered based on life prescribed in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in case of power plant assets, where the life has been estimated at 25 years based on technical

163Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial StatementsFinancial StatementsNotes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

assessment, taking into account the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the assets, the operating condition of the assets, anticipated technical changes, manufacturer warranties and maintenance support. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

In respect of business covered under part B of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, depreciation is provided at the rate as well as methodology notified by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (‘’the CERC”) (Term and Condition of Tariff) Regulations, 2014.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Subsequent costs are depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets.

b Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The Group has intangible assets in the nature of Computer software having useful life of 5 years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

c Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell.

d Financial Instruments

A Financial Instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit or loss.

e Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited164

within a timeframe established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Subsequent measurement

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of Financial Assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer note v(ii).

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of financial assets and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial assets, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL). Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured initially as well as at the end of each reporting date at fair value. The fair value

movement or remeasurement are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI).

a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

b) The contractual terms of the asset that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payment of principal and interest.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the “Other income” line item.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party or when it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received / receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

f Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

165Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial Statements

equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of financial liabilities at amortised cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognisition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if these are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.

Fair values are determined in the manner described in note ‘m’.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and costs paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Trade and other payables are recognised at the transaction cost, which is its fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Similarly, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. Trade credits include Buyer’s credit.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

g Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. Further details of derivatives financial instruments are disclosed in note 43.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited166

fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Embedded derivatives

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss.

h Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Costs include all non-refundable duties and all charges incurred in bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of power generation and costs necessary to make the sale.

i Cash and cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid financial instruments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of 3 months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

j Business combinations

Acquisitions of business are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquire and the equity interest issued by the Group in exchange of control of the acquire. Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.

Business combination involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest method, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities / business are reflected at their carrying value.

Purchase consideration paid in excess/shortfall of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities and contingent assets, is recognised as goodwill/capital reserve respectively, except in case where different accounting treatment is specified in the court approved scheme.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefits arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with Ind AS 12 Income Taxes and Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

167Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial Statements

k Operating cycle

Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non - current.

l Foreign currency translations

In preparing the financial statements of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recognised at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.

The Group has elected to continue the policy adopted for accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding and recognised in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period i.e. 31st March, 2016 as per the previous GAAP.

m Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivative at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using

another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the financial asset or settle the financial liability takes place either:

• In the principal market, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as unquoted financial assets and financial liabilities and derivatives.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited168

the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

n Government grants

The Group recognises government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received. Where Government grants relates to non-monetary assets, the cost of assets are presented at gross value and grant thereon is recognised as income in the statement of profit and loss over the useful life of the related assets in proportion in which depreciation is charged.

Grants related to income are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the same period as the related cost which they are intended to compensate are accounted for.

o Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

i) Revenue from Power Supply

Revenue from Power Supply is recognised on the basis of sales to State Distribution Companies and also on the basis of orders of the competent authorities in terms of the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) or on the basis of sales under merchant trading based on the contracted rates, as the case may be. Such Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of trade / cash discounts if any.

In case of Udupi Power Corporation Limited (“UPCL”), revenue from sale of power is recognised based on the most recent tariff

approved by the CERC, as modified by the orders of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity, to the extent applicable, having regard to mechanism provided in applicable tariff regulations and the bilateral arrangements with the customers.

ii) Sale of other goods

Revenue from the sale of other goods is recognised as per the contracted price when the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer. Such revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group.

iii) Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis at the effective interest rate (“EIR”) applicable.

iv) Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment is established which is generally when shareholder approve the dividend, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

v) Delayed payment charges and interest on delayed payment for power supply are recognised on reasonable certainty to expect ultimate collection.

p Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

169Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial Statements

borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing cost.

q Employee benefits

i) Defined benefit plans:

The Group has obligations towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees which in some cases is funded through Group Gratuity Scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Group accounts for the liability for the gratuity benefits payable in future based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out using Projected Unit Credit Method considering discounting rate relevant to Government Securities at the Balance Sheet Date.

Defined benefit costs in the nature of current and past service cost and net interest expense or income are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest or the net defined benefit liability) and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement are not classified to profit and loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognised in profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment.

ii) Defined contribution plan:

Retirement Benefits in the form of Provident Fund and Family Pension Fund which are defined contribution schemes are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period in which the contributions to the respective funds accrue as per relevant statues.

iii) Compensated Absences:

Provision for Compensated Absences and its classifications between current and non-

current liabilities are based on independent actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per the projected unit credit method as at the reporting date.

iv) Short term employee benefits:

These are recognised at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in which the related services are rendered.

r Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited170

Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Rentals expense from operating lease is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

s Taxes on Income

Tax on Income comprises current tax and deferred tax. These are recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments / appeals. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted, at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized for the future tax

consequences of deductible temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred tax liability arises at the time of transaction that affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credit and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset relating to temporary differences arising at the time of transaction that affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor the taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

t Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

171Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial Statements

dividing the profit / (loss) after tax as adjusted for the effects of dividend, interest and other charges relating to the dilutive potential equity shares by weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential equity shares.

u Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

Contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the Group. Where it is management’s assessment that the outcome is uncertain or cannot be reliably quantified, the claims are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote such contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Group does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on the Group’s financial position. (Refer note 38)

Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

v Impairment

i) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budget and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company’s cash-generating unit’s to which the individual assets are allocated. These budget and forecast calculations generally covers a period. For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budget / forecasts, the Group estimates cash flow projections based on estimated growth rate.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

Adani Power Limited172

the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

ii) Impairment of Financial assets

The Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

Expected credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instruments has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

If the Group measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial

recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Group again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.

3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any revisions thereto are recognised in the period in which they are revised or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. Uncertainties about these assumptions and estimates may differ from these estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Key Sources of estimation uncertainty :

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In case of the power plant assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been estimated at 25 years based on technical assessment, taking into account the nature of the assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturer warranties and maintenance support, except for major some components identified during the year, depreciation on the same is provided based on the useful life of each such component based on

Consolidated Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018

173Annual Report 2017-18

Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements

Financial Statements

technical assessment, if materially different from that of the main asset.

ii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

In estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, the Group uses market observable data to the extent available. Where such Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group establishes appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 45.

iii) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Information about the various estimates and assumptions made in determining the present value of defined benefit obligations are disclosed in Note 49.

iv) Impairment

Determining whether property, plant and equipment are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow model over the estimated useful life of the Power Plants. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to tariff, operational performance of the Plants, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variations, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management. (Refer note 41)

v) Taxes

Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies, including estimates of temporary differences reversing on account of available benefits from the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax assets is recognised to the extent of the corresponding deferred tax liability. (Refer note 22.1)

vi) Revenue

Revenue from operations on account of force majeure / change in law events in terms of Power Purchase Agreements with various State Power Distribution Utilities in some cases is accounted for by the Group based on best estimates including orders / reports of Regulatory Authorities, which may be subject to adjustments on receipt of final orders of the respective Regulatory Authorities.

Notes:

(i) Pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 11th April, 2017, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) was directed to determine the relief under clause 13 of Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”). Based on the petition filed by Adani Power Limited (“APL”) pertaining to 4,620 MW Thermal Power Plant, at Mundra which was transferred to Adani Power (Mundra) Limited (“APMuL”) by virtue of NCLT order as referred in note 50 below, the CERC vide its interim order dated 28th September, 2017, directed that pending the issue of final order, Haryana Utilities shall pay 75% of the relief claimed by APMuL, subject to adjustment based on final order. Based on the above order, APMuL has recognised H 683.35 Crores (Including H 639.67 Crores for the period up to 31st March, 2017) on account of Change in Law during the year ended 31st March, 2018.

Adani Power Limited190

All amounts are in J Crores, unless otherwise stated

Further, revenue from operation includes income of H 615.43 Crores for the period up to 31st March 2017, (Excluding H 639.67 Crores disclosed above) which has been recognized by APMuL based on various disputed Change in Laws claims approved during the year by various regulatory authorities such as CERC / APTEL.

(ii) Adani Power Maharashtra Limited (“APML”) has under a long term Power Purchase Agreement (“the PPA”) with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (“MSEDCL”), committed 1,320 MW capacity from Phase I & II of the Power Plants of APML at Tiroda, Maharashtra for 25 years, with one of the sources of coal from Lohara Coal Block. Terms of Reference (“TOR”) for Lohara Coal Block were withdrawn on 25th November, 2009 by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (“MOEF”). Subsequently, the MOEF in January 2010 confirmed that Lohara Block will not be considered for environment clearance. Thereafter, APML sent a notice for termination of the PPA to MSEDCL on 16th February, 2011 and also requested MSEDCL on 11th April, 2012 to return the performance guarantee submitted at the time of bidding.

Revenue from Power Supply includes relief on account of Change in Law / Force Majeure of H (23.83) Crores for the year ended 31st March, 2018 (H 110.30 Crores for the year ended 31st March, 2017) and H 1,258.54 Crores recorded upto 31st March, 2018 recognised based on the order dated 5th May, 2014 of Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (“MERC”) to compensate APML for losses suffered due to non-allotment of Lohara coal block / non-availability of coal linkages.

In response to appeals filed by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (“MSEDCL”) against the aforesaid order, Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (“APTEL”) vide its order dated 11th May, 2016 had set aside the MERC order except to the extent that whether the inaccessibility and subsequent de-allocation of the Lohara coal block constitute a Force Majeure event or not will be decided by the regular bench of APTEL, which is pending before the bench as at date.

Further to above, MERC in its order dated 19th April, 2018 has allowed APML compensation for Change in Law events under clause 13 of the PPA in lieu of the Lohara Coal Block. Based on this order, APML has recognised the claim in the books as per methodology given in the order, as against relief accounted for as Change in Law based on earlier order of MERC dated 5th May, 2014.

As per the assessment by the Management, it would not be unreasonable to expect ultimate collection of an equivalent amount of relief as referred above which is predicated on the legal advice that APML has a good arguable case on merits.

(iii) Adani Power Rajasthan Limited (“APRL”), under long term Power Purchase Agreements (“the PPAs”), has committed 1200 MW capacity with Rajasthan Discoms with a substantially fixed tariff for twenty five years.

APRL had made an application to the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (“RERC”) for evolving a mechanism for regulating and revising the power tariff on account of frustration and/or occurrence of “Force Majeure” and/or “Change in Law” events under the PPAs with Rajasthan Discoms , due to change in circumstances for the allotment of domestic coal by the Government of India and the enactment of new coal pricing regulations by Indonesian Government.

RERC vide its order dated 30th May 2014 rejected the consideration of “Force Majeure” and “Change in Law” events under the PPAs and constituted a committee to recommend Compensatory Tariff (“CT”) in line with the CERC order dated 21st February, 2014 in a similar matter of Adani Power (Mundra) Limited (“APMuL”).

In case of APMuL, APTEL vide its order dated 7th April, 2016 set aside the CERC order dated 21 February, 2014, where it decided that the promulgation of Indonesian regulations as also the non-availability / short supply of domestic coal constitute a Force Majeure event as per the terms and conditions of the PPAs. APTEL has directed the CERC to assess the extent of impact of Force Majeure event on the project and give such relief as may be available under the respective PPAs.

In response to appeals filed by the Rajasthan Discoms against RERC order dated 30th May, 2014, APTEL vide its order dated 11th May, 2016 had set aside the order of RERC, except to the extent that whether the non-availability / short supply of domestic coal as also the change in Indonesian coal regulations constitute a Force Majeure event or not, and remanded the matter to RERC. In light of the Hon’ble Supreme Court order dated 11th April, 2017 in the case of APMuL, that the

As per the assessment by the Management, it would not be unreasonable to expect ultimate collection of an equivalent amount of relief as referred above, which is predicated based on the principles set forth by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and CERC and MERC orders in the similar matters in the case of APMuL and APML.

(iv) MERC vide its order dated 7th March, 2018, has given a favourable order for 2500 MW against APML’s petition for change in law claims on account of shortage of coal supply under the new NCDP policy for the capacity tied up under PPAs for the generation capacity of 1180 MW having FSA (Unit 1 and 2) and for capacity tied up under PPA for 1320 MW (Unit 4 and 5) having MOU. Claim against the said order, is accounted for by APML based on the Management’s best estimates.

(v) Revenue from Operations on account of Force Majeure / Change in Law events in terms of Power Purchase Agreements with various State Power Distribution Utilities is accounted for by the Group based on best management estimates including orders / reports of Regulatory Authorities in some cases, which may be subject to adjustments on account of final orders of the respective Regulatory Authorities.

Notes :

i) During the previous year, pursuant to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) order dated 21st February, 2014, Adani Power Limited (“APL”) had recognized revenue in the nature of Compensatory Tariff (“CT”) of H 3,938.65 Crores upto 31st December, 2016 in respect of a long term Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) (Bid 2) of 1000 MW entered into with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (“GUVNL”) and other long term PPAs of 1424 MW entered into with Haryana Utilities. In addition, APL had also recognized CT of H 426.19 Crores upto 31st December, 2016 in respect of another long term PPA (Bid 1) of 1000 MW entered into with GUVNL.

The said order was challenged in Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (“APTEL”). APTEL vide its order dated 7th April, 2016, had set aside the aforementioned CERC order and had held that the promulgation of Indonesian regulation constitutes Force Majeure event which was contested in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide its order dated 11th April, 2017 had set aside the aforementioned APTEL order and had ruled that the said event was neither Force Majeure nor Change in Law as per the terms of PPA and hence, does not entitle the Company to CT. Consequently, during the previous year APL had derecognised its claim on account of CT of H 4,364.84 Crores recognized up to 31st December, 2016, out of which, of H 3,619.49 Crores (recognised upto 31st March, 2016) was shown as an exceptional item and H 745.35 Crores (recognised from 1st April, 2016 to 31st December, 2016) had been adjusted from the revenue from operations.

Further, the aforesaid order of Hon’ble Supreme Court also held that the non-availability of domestic coal due to change in policy or Change in Law, in force in India, constitutes Change in Law as per the terms of PPA. Hon. Supreme Court directed the CERC to determine the relief under clause 13 of PPA. APL has filed a petition with CERC to ascertain the relief that may be available to it.

ii) During the previous year, APL had given advances to Brakel Kinnaur Power Private Limited (“Brakel”) of H 288.45 Crores which were, in turn, deposited by Brakel with Government of Himachal Pradesh (“the GoHP”) in relation to 960 MW hydro power plant project (“the project”). The said advances had been written off due to delay in initiation of underlying project.

iii) During the previous year Udupi Power Corporation Limited (“UPCL”) had reversed Revenue from power supply amounting to H 168.75 Crores pursuant to CERC order dated 24th March, 2017 in the matter of revision of tariff for the period from Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) till 31st March, 2014, and after considering the impact thereof on the financial years 2014-15 and 2015-16.

39 Trade receivables of UPCL includes H 110.11 Crores (Previous year - H 137.11 Crores) relating to earlier years which are under advanced stage of reconciliation with the customers. The management is confident of recovery of the receivables based on its assessment which considers subsequent direction by the nodal agency to the customers to release part payment against the said receivables. (Refer note 11)

40 The Group had successfully secured a coal block at Jitpur in the state of Jharkhand and executed the coal mine development and production agreement with the Government of India in FY 2014-2015. The Group has already initiated the process for development of the said mine.

41 (a) APMuL has determined the recoverable amount of the Power Plant under Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets on the basis of its value in use by estimating the future cash flows over the estimated useful life of the power plant. Further, the cash flow projections are based on the estimates relating to tariff, operational performance of the Plant, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variations, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management.

On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of APMuL has concluded that the recoverable amount of the Power Plant is higher than its carrying amount as at 31st March, 2018. However, if these estimates and assumptions change in future, there could be corresponding impact on the recoverable amounts of Plant.

(b) APML and APRL have determined the recoverable amounts of the Power Plants under Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets on the basis of their Value in Use by estimating the future cash inflows over the estimated useful lives of the Power Plants. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to tariff, operational performance of the Plants, availability of domestic coal under fuel supply agreement / coal linkage as per the directives of Competent Authority, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variation, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management.

On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of APML and APRL have concluded that the recoverable amounts of the Power Plants are higher than their carrying amounts as at 31st March, 2018. However, if these estimates and assumptions change in future, there could be corresponding impact on the recoverable amounts of the Plants.

(c) UPCL has determined the recoverable amount of the Power Plant under Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets on the basis of its Value in Use by estimating the future cash inflows over the estimated useful life of the Power Plant. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions relating to operational performance of the Plant, life extension plans, market prices of coal and other fuels, exchange variation, inflation, terminal value etc. which are considered reasonable by the Management.

On a careful evaluation of the aforesaid factors, the Management of UPCL has concluded that the recoverable amount of the Power Plant is higher than its carrying amount as at 31st March, 2018. However, if these estimates and assumptions change in future, there could be corresponding impact on the recoverable amount of Plant.

42 Further to the execution of the share purchase agreement (“SPA”) on 4th March, 2015 with the owners of Korba West Power Company Limited (KWPCL), having operating capacity of 600 MW Thermal Power Project at Korba, Adani Power Limited (“APL”) had paid total amount of H 775 Crores by 17th March, 2015, to the owners of KWPCL towards 100% acquisition of shares and including H 107.90 Crores towards loan in KWPCL and has further advanced H 1,628.32 Crores to KWPCL as inter corporate deposit till 31st March, 2018 (including H 140.46 Crores advanced during FY 2017-18 & interest accrued thereon). The process of closure of the acquisition of KWPCL as per SPA, got delayed pending resolution of disputes in terms of the SPA, suspension of plant operations due to failure of generator leading to differences with original equipment supplier and finally, pending restructuring of loans by the lenders. Based on understanding reached with stakeholders and the KWPCL lenders, the Company acquired 49% of the equity shares of KWPCL on 22nd December, 2017 whereby KWPCL became Company’s associate entity.

Further to the above, the Company entered into a separate SPA to sell / dispose-off, the acquired 49% equity shares to a third party on 18th January, 2018, for a consideration of H 263.69 Crores and the shares have been transferred to the said party before 31st March, 2018. In terms of SPA, APL is expected to realise the consideration at the earliest.

Accordingly, considering the same as investment in associate in line with Ind AS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, the above financial statements include the share of loss of KWPCL for the period 22nd December, 2017 to 18th January, 2018.

Based on restructuring plan proposed and approved by the lead banker of KWPCL, dated 15th March, 2018, which has been approved by few of the other lenders and is under approval of the remaining lenders, APL expects to acquire 51% of shares of KWPCL in the near future. It also expects that KWPCL plant will be operational in next few months after repair of the generator defect. Further, APL Management is of the view that on signing of restructuring plan with the lenders and commencement of operation of the plant, it will be able to realise the value of its investments and advances over the expected useful life of the thermal power project.

43 The Group has taken various derivatives to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The outstanding position of derivative instruments is as under :

Adani Power Limited198

* During the previous year, the Company had hedged USD 271.74 million of exposure in the form of firm commitments pertaining to future coal imports, however for the purpose of determining unhedged foreign currency exposure of “Import Creditors and Acceptances”, forward contracts aggregating to USD 254.23 million have been set off against outstanding amounting to USD 310.45 million towards import creditors and acceptances, as the management of the Company considers that the impact of such exposure on Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss due to movement in foreign exchange rates will be effectively offset by such financial hedges.

All amounts are in J Crores, unless otherwise stated

44 (i) Financial Risk Management Objective and Policies :

The Group’s risk management activities are subject to the management direction and control under the framework of Risk Management Policy as approved by the Board of Directors of the Group. The Management ensures appropriate risk governance framework for the Group through appropriate policies and procedures and the risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives.

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity risk.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a mixed portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. To manage this, the Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

The sensitivity analysis have been carried out based on the exposure to interest rates for instruments not hedged against interest rate fluctuation at the end of the reporting period. The said analysis has been carried out on the amount of floating rate long term liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

In case of fluctuation in interest rates by 50 basis points on the exposure on long term borrowings H 31,157.27 Crores as on 31st March, 2018 and H 36,079.67 Crores as on 31st March, 2017 respectively and if all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit or loss for the year would increase or decrease as follows:

b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities. The Group manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions that are expected to realise in future. The Group manages its foreign currency risk by entering into currency swap for converting INR loan into other foreign currency for taking advantage of lower cost of borrowing in stable currency environment. The Group also enters into various foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk arising out of foreign exchange rate movement on foreign currency borrowings or trade payables.

Every one percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and U.S. dollar on the exposure of $ 131.27 million as on 31st March, 2018 and $ 222.62 million as on 31st March, 2017 would have affected the Group’s profit or loss for the year as follows :

c) Commodity price risk

The Group is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities which is moderated by optimising the procurement under fuel supply agreement. Its operating activities require the on-going purchase or continuous supply of coal. Therefore the Group monitors its purchases closely to optimise the price.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

The Group is having majority of receivables from State Electricity Boards which are Government undertakings and hence they are secured from credit losses in the future. In addition, as per the terms of the agreement, the receivables are secured by standby letter of credits in favour of the Group.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk of shortage of funds using cash flow forecasting models. These models consider the maturity of its financial investments, committed funding and projected cash flows from operations. The Group’s objective is to provide financial resources to meet its business objectives in a timely, cost effective and reliable manner and to manage its capital structure. A balance between continuity of funding and flexibility is maintained through internal accruals, proceeds from issue of bonds as well as adequately adjusting the working capital cycle.

As at year end, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have outstanding dues to be reported in the financial statements except in case of the subsidiary, “APMuL”. In case of APMuL, it has certain dues outstanding for 1-2 days at year end, towards external commercial borrowings of H2.11 Crores owing to year-end holidays and working capital over drawl of H668.34 Crores due for the months of February / March 2018, due to various reasons including change in working capital cycle (in terms of regulatory order) which was reduced during the period of the loan.

ix. Asset Liability Matching Strategies

Adani Power Limited (“APL”) and Udupi Power Corporation Limited (“UPCL”), one of the subsidiaries, have purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, APL and UPCL is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

x. Effect of Plan on Entity’s Future Cash Flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The APL and UPCL have purchased an insurance policy to provide for payment of gratuity to the employees. Every year, the insurance Group carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by these Companies. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by these Companies.

b) Expected Contribution during the next annual reporting period

The APL’s and UPCL’s best estimate of Contribution during the next year is H Nil and H 3.27 Crores respectively.

c) Maturity Profile of Defined Benefit Obligation

Weighted average duration (based on discounted cash flows) - 10 years

Expected cash flows over the next (valued on undiscounted basis):

xi. The Group has defined benefit plans for Gratuity to eligible employees. The contributions for which are made to Life Insurance Corporation of India who invests the funds as per Insurance Regulatory Development Authority guidelines.

The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.

The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with FY 2017-18.

The actuarial liability for compensated absences as at the year ended 31st March, 2018 is H25.35 Crores (Previous Year H 25.85 Crores).

(b) Defined Contribution Plan

Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans, recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, for the year is as under :

50 The National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) had sanctioned the Scheme of Arrangement for the demerger of Company’s 4620 MW thermal power undertaking at Mundra into its subsidiary - Adani Power (Mundra) Limited, on 22nd December, 2017 with appointed date of 31st March, 2017, on a slump exchange basis. The said Scheme has been made effective on 22nd December, 2017 upon receipt of all the requisite regulatory approvals.

51 Adani Power Rajasthan Limited (APRL) and Adani Power Maharashtra Limited (APML) have been allowed additional coal linkage by Coal India limited under Scheme for Harvesting and Allocating Koyla (Coal) Transparently in India (“SHAKTI”). As at the year end, APRL has signed fuel supply agreement (FSA) for supply of coal under SHAKTI and APML is in the process of signing the same.

52 CERC issued notification dated 8th December, 2017 amending annual escalation rate of domestic coal applicable for the purpose of determination of tariff escalation as per Power Purchase Agreements in case of APML and APRL. These Companies have filed petition against the said notification with Hon. Delhi High Court and the matter is yet to be decided. Meanwhile, Hon. Delhi High Court issued a stay order against the above referred CERC notification vide its order dated 7th February, 2018. These Companies have based on the reasoning given in the stay order and also based on the management assessment believe that the said notification will be set aside and hence, it shall not have any financial impact.

54 Additional information as required by para 2 of the General Instructions for preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements to Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013:

55 The Group’s activities during the year revolve around power generation. Considering the nature of Group’s business and operations, there is only one reportable segment (business and/or geographical) in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS - 108 – ‘Operating Segments’, prescribed under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

56 APMuL is incurring operational losses presently. Accordingly, the Management of APMuL has approached the various stakeholders to arrive at alternative solutions to minimize the operting losses. The discussion in the matter are still at an exploratory stage. Based on the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amount of assets of the Mundra Power Plant, no further adjustment is considered necessary at this stage.

57 Recent accounting pronouncements

The Group applied for first time certain amendments to the Standards, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2017. The nature and impact of each amendment is described below:

Amendments to Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash flows : Disclosure initiative

The amendment requires entities to provide disclosure of changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). The Group has provided the information for both the current and comparative period.

Standard issued but not effective:

Ind As 115 revenue from contracts with customers

Ind AS 115 was notified on 28th March 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. This new standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions of the Group. Ind AS 115 is effective for the Group in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using either one of two methods: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Ind AS 115 (the full retrospective method); or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 recognized at the date of initial application (1st April 2018) and providing certain additional disclosures as defined in Ind AS 115 (the modified retrospective method).

The Group continues to evaluate the available transition methods and its contractual arrangements. The ultimate impact on revenue resulting from the application of Ind AS 115 will be subject to assessments that are dependent on many variables, including, but not limited to, the terms of the contractual arrangements and the mix of business.

A reliable estimate of the quantitative impact of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible once the implementation project has been completed.

58 Previous year figures have been regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary to conform to this year’s classification.
